Awesome!!! Planning a trip to Japan later this year too!
Got a MBA to add some portability to the tool kit.
£46 worth of petrol for Mrs AFB car. Red light was on. Last filled it up in February.
Only because she does around 4 miles a week!Cheaper than an electric at that rate!
Plus that’s more per week than I pay to charge!
We were supposed to sell it when I got the i3. But she isn’t comfortable driving it (because it isn’t scratched and marked like hers), so we are keeping it for now.
To get to the shops from where we live a car is the only option.
Didn't want to spend $800 to for Colorware's take on the Retro PS5 (although it looks absolutely amazing), so I ordered Dbrand's plates and skin for 10X less.
To replace my 13" 2016 MBP.
New 15" MBA has 2 x RAM, 4 x the storage and Apple silicon.

Prime Day deal + Birthday Voucher finally made me succumb to getting my first ever wireless earbuds.
Finally captured a beautiful shot of my Breitling Premier B15 Duograph 42 last night.
Finally an affordable MBA M2 15" screen, it's huge compared to the old faithful MBP M1.
(Not my photo) First pair of Hoka's to try out for hospital shifts. Yes - I don't particular care for the various color ways.
For my caffeine cravings
A cute funko
Also picked up 14" Zenbook that was recently on sale, and I'm enjoying it more than anticipated. Might even give up my M1 MBA.

Wonderful! One of the greatest places on Earth you could visit. Lovely country.
My advice would be to learn a few polite phrases in Japanese if you don't know them already. "Sumimasen" = "Excuse me; pardon me" is very helpful. Use it if you are looking for directions or if you accidentally bump into someone on the subway or any other similar situation.
My first time visiting Tokyo, I had almost no Japanese and I still found it extremely easy to get around and enjoy things. Most restaurants have picture menus and there is a lot of English on signs and such but it's still respectful to show that you are willing to learn a few simple phrases. "Arigatou" = "Thank you", etc.
I see you are flying into Narita. Are you staying in Tokyo itself? It's easy to get from the airport to the city by train.
Most famous for their fountain pen friendly notebooks, I purchased this Leuchtturm 1917 sketchbook with 150 g/m2 paper. Curious to find out its quality.
I love those books. There is a place near me in Harvard Square called "Bob Slate Stationary" and anytime I am in there I end up picking up something like that. Usually the smaller field note books.

Thanks! Yes I will take the train, we haven’t booked hotels, yet. I also have book and I’m trying to learn some very basic Japanese 😊
This was 42% off on Amazon, so I bought it. Can't wait for it to turn up!
I really need to stop buying stuff. But Amazon/Prime deals keep tempting me. Someone please take my card away.
Ditched the AEB. Shame Apple no longer makes routers. This lasted me a decade without a single hiccup.
'Upgraded' to the Deco X20 for WiFi 6 Mesh networking, since they're currently 50% off. Working well so far.
Didn't really see the need to spring for WiFI 6E which is still a tad pricey.
Also got the last official FIFA game at a much more palatable price on Prime Day.
Lastly, another year of Office 365, which was again 50% off on Prime Day. Although i'm probably gonna switch to iWork and/or Google Docs after this.
